Trump’s Son-In-Law, Ex-Adviser Met With Russian Envoy Amid Transition

They’re now growing frustrated over the lack of progress after Trump heaped praise on President Vladimir Putin during the campaign and pledged to work with him, including in fighting terrorism.

The Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian Federation are under investigation by both the FBI and committees of Congress.

Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and other former aides are in the hot seat for their interactions with Russian Federation over the course of the presidential campaign, transition and new administration.

That same day, Manafort resigns his position on Trump’s campaign.

And he has insisted he did not meet with Russian officials past year.

Carter Page is a man of mystery. Al Franken (D-Minn.) was, “If there was any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this [2016] campaign, what would you do?”

The situation is getting curiouser and curiouser when it comes to Donald Trump, his aides and Russian Federation. Democrats call for his resignation and that he should recuse himself from any Russian Federation investigation. Okay. Now, let’s move on.

Even Russia’s media have had little to report about him beyond his official statements and actions: When Kislyak was appointed USA ambassador in July 2008, the pro-Kremlin news website Vz.ru called him a “non-public person” who “speaks reluctantly”.

Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to President Trump’s campaign, says he doesn’t deny speaking with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak a year ago, after saying last month he had “no meetings” with any Russian officials.

The role of Mr Kushner, who is now a senior adviser in the Trump administration, in the meeting is unclear.

The visitor logs, which Obama made public in 2009 in a push for transparency, show that the long-time Russian ambassador to the United States visited the White House at least 22 times between 2009 and 2016.

Trump on Thursday blamed his Democratic Party opponents for the controversy over Sessions. “Our job is to understand, to help Russian Federation”. Hayes is one of the best journalists in cable news.

If the major corporate network, CNN, is quoting the claim of the anonymous current and former officials, wouldn’t the logical line of reasoning be to ask these same officials who served under the Obama administration why they did not do something about the Russian spy acting under the diplomatic cover? His denials, after all of his other lies, should be taken to mean nothing.
